1. I am a retired instructor. He is wrong. No case law that I know of. I don't want to be the test case.diverman26 wrote:Disclaimer: I have read just about every post on this topic and I am aware that it has been discussed to death, so I am sorry to bring it up again.
I am a very recent LTC Texan and the topic of prohibited locations was brought up in the class.
According to my instructor (an active & senior local LEO) - while the state has specifically stated what makes a legal notification in the form of a 30.06 and 30.07 sign, any notification that is reasonable (No Weapons Allowed, Gun Buster, etc) would also serve as notification and if called, HE would make an arrest for unlawful carry. Since we were in a class and I didn't have the knowledge that I have picked up in just the last 30 days I didn't challenge him.
I don't want to reignite the debate on this but I do have a couple of questions:
1. Is there case law yet which has tested this?
2. How would you approach the subject with the Instructor/LEO? I will likely see him again and would like to discuss this topic in more detail.
2. He has a badge and a gun. Recommend a different Instructor to your friends. He has made up his mind.
3. My own opinion. YMMV.
